Still not convinced? Check out our 8 reasons why you should use a menstrual cup here.

What size should I buy?

Size 1 small is generally suited for women that have not had a vaginal birth, lighter flows or teens/young women. It is also suitable for those with very tight pelvic floor muscles or under 30 years. It can also be ideal for first time users of a menstrual cup.

Capacity: approx 30ml

Diameter: 42mm

Length: 50mm from rim to base of cup 70mm

Stem: 20mm

Size 2 large is generally suited for women that have had a vaginal birth, heavy flow, women over 30 years. It is also suitable for those with weaker pelvic floor muscles.

Capacity: approx 36ml

Diameter: 46mm

Length: 55mm from rim to base of cup, from rim to tip of stem 75mm

Stem: 20mm

These sizing recommendations are a general guideline other factors you may need to consider are the strength of your pelvic floor muscles. If you fit most of the size 1 cup criteria but have very weak pelvic muscles then consider the size large cup. If you have a low sitting cervix then the size 1 cup will be a better fit. Some women find their cervix sits lower during the first 48 hours of their period then moves back to the higher position.

How often should I change my menstrual cup?

It is recommended the cup should be emptied, rinsed and reinserted every 4-8 hours, no more that 10 hours. It will vary greatly as every goddess cycle is so different. With a bit of practice you will quickly know how long you can leave it before emptying it during the different stages of your period.

I’ve been using my menstual cup for almost 6 months now and I’ve not needed to reach for a sanitary pad yet! I’m so happy with this product, it is an exceptional product from a well trusted retailer. I have recommended this cup to many of my friends. It only took me one week to get used to it and I love that I won’t get caught out without a pad/tampon anymore and I’ve reduced my footprint. Don’t be afraid of investing this reasonable amount of money as the rewards keep paying off for years.
